Speed of a Strong Saftey and OLB
Question
I am 6'1 and weight 213 right now but not sure how fast i am i would say around a 4.8 i don't think i am big enough to play middle LB but possibly a OLB or a SS what is a good D2 speed for those posittions? thank you for your time
Answer
D2 isn't nearly as fast paced as D1. With that being said, a 4.8 is plenty fast to play outside linebacker. Because of some of the coverage responsibilities, it may be a tick slow for strong safety. There are plenty of speed drills out there that could probably get that 4.8 down to a 4.65, then you're opening up a whole new realm of possibillities, not just strong safety, but free safety as well. I hope this answers your question.
Mind set
cut/chop blocking
